The run to shut down the shuls bothers me a little bit. Supermarkets are open, and that is a good thing, as people need food. The shul is spiritual food.
-- Chief Rabbi Dovid Lau
Even if it is necessary, it bothers me a bit too. People are very zealous about shutting the shuls. Again, even if necessary, and it is, it should pain us more and many of us seem to take that project on with tremendous vigor and no second thought. And Rabbi Lau is not saying we should not close the shuls, but it should at least be troubling and painful.
